Georgia sweet corn shipments started last month and peak volume should continue through mid July.
Shipments are expected to last through the end of the month.
Grower/shipper Rogue River Farms of Clewiston, FL has added acreage in Georgia so it would be able to go further into July with sweet corn supply from the region. That will allow it to have Georgia sweet corn throughout July and until production transitions to the local deals across the country.
As for the rest of the summer season, Rouge River Farms has production ahead in two other regions–Virginia and Ontario, Canada. The Canadian production is on schedule to start at the end of July/early part of August, while early assessments of the crop are positive. The plantings are strong right now. The company is hoping for more heat units in Canada to help keep the crop moving. The Virginia crop is looking very similar.
